Diversity Equity & Inclusion Statement

Greater Cleveland Volunteers celebrates and embraces our country’s diversity. We recognize and deplore that many people have been, and continue to be, subjected to violence, injustice, and unfair treatment simply because they differ from the perpetrators. We pledge to do all that we can to embrace diversity, promote equity, and assure inclusion for everyone we interact with.

To read our full Statement on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, see: Greater Cleveland Volunteers Statement of Principle on DEI
